Carvalhal charges against everyone

Carlos Carvalhal, Celta’s coach, criticized the lack of control over extra time and advocated the use of technology to control the minutes to be added exactly. After losing 1-0 against Getafe thanks to a goal by Enes Ünal from the penalty spot, the Portuguese coach congratulated the Madrid team on their victory but criticized the loss of time that hurt Celta.

“I am not going to criticize my colleague from Getafe. I think that in these types of matches his players fall a lot. The fourth official has a timer, if he stops when the game stops, he gives even ten minutes. I don’t doubt it. High technology , in everything and we keep looking at the game through the eyes,” he said.

“One minute for a substitution, thirty seconds for something else… That’s not the case. You can make six substitutions at the same time. We didn’t learn anything from the World Cup. Ten, twelve and fourteen minutes were added. The necessary time . It did not benefit the offender. If the offender did not benefit, he will do the same in the next game,” he added.

Also, he declared that Celta found the Getafe game they expected, “very difficult” to counter “with many fouls” and with many minutes of stoppages in play. “Congratulations to Getafe, they have done a lot to win. We set up a strategy, but we didn’t expect a goal after two minutes. That ruined our strategy. Getafe was very aggressive, chances, permanent fouls, counterattacks and I did not expect the penalty in the first minute”, comments.

“For our part, the most positive thing is the attitude of our team to draw with ten players. We have to improve things. This break we will have more time to work and we have to do everything to be more aggressive. “, dynamic and intense. Counting on the fans, we hope to play a good game against Valencia and return to victories”, he highlighted.

He also spoke about the penalty and regretted that in previous duels for his team they would not whistle a clearer one than the one received by Enes Ünal: “We had a very clear penalty against Carles against Elche. If you compare this here… For the love of God, I’m not going to talk about arbitration,” he said.

Regrets his team’s inefficiency

Likewise, he lamented the lack of efficiency of his players facing the opposite goal: “In front of Villarreal, we finished a lot. We had little efficiency. I didn’t think I had many chances against Getafe. You have to be effective. We struggled get past Getafe’s final line “We have to work and rest will be important. You don’t have to make mistakes. A goal in the first minute, Villarreal scored the second time it came… That’s to do with focus and intensity”.

“This is a marathon. We are in a good position now. We have 39 points. But we have to do more. We have five games to do it and we sure do it. I’m a little worried. Based on today’s game, I have to assume that we have to improve a lot. I have no doubt that we will do it together with the fans in Balaídos”, he said.

Asked why he changed Kevin for Carles Pérez after half an hour, he argued that it was due to a technical issue: “Very simple. Carles was not in a position to play at the beginning. We had a plan to have security at the back because we expect a very direct game. We need to have a strong line of five. One minute, you concede a goal and that strategy cannot be the same. We need to put a player who is more forward and capable of reaching the goal. It’s not like Kevin played bad or anything,” he concluded.
